Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Men of Science Garfield said, N 0 page of human history is so instructive and significant as the record of those early influences which develop the character and direct the lives of eminent men. These sketches show how young men have over come difficulties, sometimes poverty, sometimes illness; how they have made failures before find ing their true vocation. They show the results of energy, perseverance, and untiring devotion' how a cheerful face and a hopeful spirit like Agassiz's, or a gentle and kindly nature like Darwin's, can win its way against Opposition. A sketch of Benjamin Franklin, which otherwise would have a place in this volume will be found in Famous American Statesmen also one of Michael Faraday, in Poor Boys Who Became Famous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Men of Science: A History of Scientific Progress I count it an honour to be allowed to write a few words of introduction for the English edition of Professor Lenard's historical studies of the great men of science. It is now over twenty years since I worked as a research student in his laboratory, and time has dulled many memories, but the recollection of his inspiriting and wholehearted devotion to the service of science, of his generous enthusiasm forthe work of men of genius, living and dead, and of his wonderful experimental skill and resource, is still bright. Ramsauer, Hausser and Kossel, whose names have since become famous, were among his research students at that time, and the physics colloquium, with Professor Lenard's illumin ating and significant interjections, comments and questions, made the pursuit of scientific truth seem an exciting and supremely desirable quest. It was on such occasions that Professor Lenard's interest in the history of science came particularly to our notice. Who had first shown the way here, what had he actually done, how was he led to do it? Such questions, to which our professor too often had to supply the answer himself, brought before us the great ness of past workers and the significance of their achieve ments. Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Hertz (who was Lenard's teacher): such men became living figures for us, and their tasks and successes appeared as part of an organic structure, and not as an empty record of past times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Humanities, and the New Science In writing a prefatory note to an American reprint of this notable address there are three things to consider - the writer, his subject, and the occasion. The greatly beloved author had a multitude of friends in all lands, and far abler pens have written much concerning him during the past twelve months. The subject is one of no less moment on this side of the Atlantic than to those in older countries who concern themselves with scholarship and education, though here the classicists are having a particularly hard struggle to retain in our academies, schools, and colleges a proper footing for the ancient languages and learning termed "the humanities."

It was a very blue sea, and the mountains in the distance looked mauve. Deep valleys, full of cypress trees and myrtle thickets where nightingales sang, ran between the mountains. The climate was warm, and people could live mostly out of doors. They had honey, and goat's milk, and olives, and wine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Awake, Christian Scientists! The high esteem in which Christian Scientists are held is, perhaps, largely the reflected glory of an early time - long years before Christian Science became popular. We have, however, reason to believe that there is a Remnant with the true ring, who have not sought the Christ for the loaves and fishes these are they who will build up the walls of Jerusalem. The Reader may trace herein the awakening of a student of Christian Science from the treacherous slumber produced by faith in human beings and Peace where there is no peace up to an awakened, enlarged sense of faith - not in fallible, mortal man in high places but to distrust of mortals and an understanding certainty that If God be for us, who can be against us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catholic Churchmen in Science: Sketches of the Lives of Catholic Ecclesiastics Who Were Among the Great Founders in Science There has recently been question of the foun dation of an Institute for the Study of the His tory of Science. 'its realization has, alas! Been delayed, as have so many other important intel lectual developments, by the great war which absorbs nearly all energy and attention. I think that very probably the articles contained in this little volume may serve to emphasize how much such an institution is needed. We have been so intent in the past on the history of war and politics that we have sadly neglected the ordered story of man's great constructive achievements. None of these has been more neglected than the history of science, that is, man's thoughtful efforts to penetrate with the human means at his command the meaning of man's life and the uni verse in which he lives.
